Carlow Comedy Festival - Shite Talk Live at Teach Dolmain

Shite Talk Live at Teach Dolmain

An Irish History Podcast – Live in Carlow

Get ready for a night of storytelling, laughter, and a slightly questionable take on Irish history as Kevin Larney and Jason Brennan bring their hit podcast “Shite Talk: An Irish History Podcast” to Teach Dolmain, Carlow.

The show has become a cult favourite among comedy and history fans alike, known for blending historical tales with quick wit and a healthy dose of Irish mischief. Each episode sees Kevin and Jason retell strange, fascinating, and often ridiculous moments from Ireland’s past — with facts that are mostly accurate and laughs that are guaranteed.

About the Hosts:

• Jason Brennan is a Carlow native, comedian, writer, and filmmaker. He has performed stand-up across Ireland and the UK, bringing his sharp humour and storytelling skills to stages big and small. His background in film and TV adds a creative edge to the duo’s storytelling, with a knack for turning even the driest bit of history into a comic adventure.
• Kevin Larney, originally from Offaly, is a comedian, podcaster, and writer known for his quick wit and love of oddball history. He’s the researcher of the pair — the man who digs deep into Ireland’s archives (and Wikipedia) to uncover the stories you never learned in school.

Together, they’ve built “Shite Talk” into one of Ireland’s most popular independent podcasts, with live shows selling out across the country.
